any hints on how to get the easel in place? I am having a very difficult time getting the easel fit inside the holes even though I am putting in the long end first.

I completely agree! I'm having the same problem. The desk seems to be somewhat concave so I thought that might be a problem (faulty/defective). It does seem impossible. My husband is procrastinating on putting the easel on so I'll see what I can do.

I think I remember my husband having to push it really hard but it was last year so I don't really remember, sorry

The box the easel sits in is included. When the easel is not in use, it can be collapsed and laid flat in the bottom box. No additional board is needed. Hope this helps.

I believe you need to move the projector closer for the image to get smaller or farther away to get larger. I really haven't used this projector yet, so you might want to contact tech support at Artograph.

It'll come, just keep clicking. press button holding brush down so color and fill brush. I just usedmine today and had to click a few times then it fill up brush w/ right amt of color.

If for some reason the bottom piece is missing...The inside dimensions of the base are 18" by 16" (will be a little bigger outside dimensions depending on the thickness of wood you use), but to make it simpler, you could use two screws and a small length of chain to hold it open like a painter's easel. 10 inches of chain would do it--then simply pre-drill a hole on each side of the easel, (or use a hammer and nail if no drill) screw in the chain with two small screws, and it will be like the support on a a-frame ladder, keeping the easel open.

this drawer has stuck on us once or twice too. our issue we found was that the door didn't go back in straight - the fix for us was to push in the side that was sticking out more. we gentle push/knocked the side that was sticking out more, and it eventually straightened, and then went in. hope this helps!

It is a little difficult, but you have to turn that center piece in just the right spot to fully extend the handle. I know this doesn't help and you have already done this but I had this happen to me and you just have to take a deep breath and fiddle with it until you find that magic spot. After the 2nd time, I never put it short again.

I had the same problem the end expanded to 9 inches to center never expand it over 5. I've had mine sitting for 2 weeks now and it hasn't expand it anymore than it did after 2 hours. I hope this helps

At first, I put the smaller ones in front and realized what I had done. I had gotten 2 so the first one was more of a challenge. Make sure you follow the directions. Sorry, I can't remember any tips for you.

The easel is for holding a stationary painting. I would think maybe writing on a white board that size might make it collapse or move around a little unless you permanently brace it with another board. Good luck. Sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer, being a primary teacher myself.

It's been long enough now that I don't remember if I had to force this or not, but I don't remember having to do that. I remember mine assembling very easily. Hopefully you've got it working okay by now. Good luck!

Though I enjoy this easel unit it is not the best for frequent mobility. There are easels which pivet at the center with a knob on each side for securing any position. The brand name I do not know but the pivet model is your best bet.

Hi Edward, The nozzle unscrews the other way - turn it to right to loosen it. I know it's counter-intuitive, but try wrapping a rubber band on it, and turn it to the right, and it should loosen. It's odd that it should come assembled. Hope this helps.

I would suggest buying a tabletop easel that is made specifically for that purpose (For Example: B004XMOT08). Thank you.

Hi John, I'm the original poster, who bought it for my 92-year-old Dad! Hahahaha. Anyway, I finally did get the stand to work. It required a little maneuver: try gently pulling the stand out and then jiggling it a little. It seemed to pop into an adjustment mode that allowed me to easily close it up. Each time I did it, though, I had to jiggle and play with it a little bit til I finally got the hang of it. Hope this works.

I ended up not loving this board. I found that you have to really tighten it very very tight to hold anything on it and to keep it upright. I found that it would hold the board, but pressure from drawing on it sometimes caused the easel to move down.

That means you're really not clicking it into place. You have to push very hard (and pull really hard when clicking it out of place) If you look at the very top the legs, there will be a little circle with a hook like thing on botg sides. That has togo into the little blue space at the top. It's really tricky but you will hear the click and make sure it's clicked on all 4 sides
